Revisiting this little blog of mine, coming back to this place that is so special to me has brought up so many emotions. For one, posing in front of a camera hasn’t come as easily as it once did. I’m out of practice and it feels just a tad bit uncomfortable. This is something i’m excited about, and i’m excited to learn to overcome again.

But second, it has renewed a feeling I had when I started this blog: body image discomfort is something to push through. Thick thighs are beautiful and should be celebrated. Patchy skin and pimples on faces are a part of life.

You may notice (or, hell, you may not) that I have a pimple on the side of my mouth in these photos. It comes from picking at my face and it’s not cute but you know what, pushing through the discomfort of not wanting to post photos because of it, moves me. It makes me feel empowered that i’ve hit publish regardless of that slight twinge of insecurity that I had, and pushed through.

Body positivity moves me. Helping others learn to love and accept their figures moves me. And far less seriously, skirts like this one with flow and movement help with the above – this one is good, ya’ll.

In my opinion, the Autumn wedding is totally underrated. The weather is a bit cooler, allowing for the most beautiful of wedding attire, without the added pressure of sleeveless or short dresses that Summer weddings demand.

I bought this DVF silk maxi skirt for our Sunday Brunch post-wedding, and pulled it out for my very good friend Kate’s October wedding this last weekend. It made for the perfect statement piece to pair with all-black accessories.

On top of the statement, this skirt is incredibly comfortable. it is a wrap style, secured closed by two leather buckles on either side. AND, the buckles are adjustable! Such a great feature. I’m wearing a size 12 in these photos and with my recent fluctuation in weight, i’ve been able to tighten or loosen the buckles to fit appropriately.

I am so pleased to finally be able to share a fun photoshoot I did with the other Poshmark bloggers for Racked San Francisco a few weeks back! We gathered in the city with the insanely talented Erica Garlieb and had the most fun styling our own individual takes on Fall Brights and trends we are loving/hating for the season. Hop on over to Racked to see the images of all of us together (our styles are so individual and so fun!) and brace yourselves for a picture heavy post below. Thanks again to Racked, Erica and Poshmark for a wonderful afternoon and feature!

This sweater is another example of a sensational Nordstrom Rack find. Beautiful silk panelling on the front gives way to cozy wool in the back. I love the subtle print and the versatile navy color, especially paired with nude wedges and giraffe print. I kept the accessories neutral and punched it up with a red lip.
